Huawei Philippines recently announced pricing details for its P20 and P20 Pro phones. The prices in local retail are surprisingly low compared to how much the Chinese flagships are going for in Europe.

Yet there’s a way to get the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro at even lower prices, provided you’re okay with trading in your older smartphone (or smartphones!) for either device. As it has done with older models, Huawei Philippines will be holding a trade-in promo for the P20 series on April 28, coinciding with the phones’ first day of sales.

Huawei says customers can get up to P36,900 (around $707) off a new off-contract P20 or P20 Pro, which will cost P34,990 ($671) and P44,990 ($862) in stores here. There’s more: All those who trade in their used hardware will get an additional P4,000 ($77) discount, regardless of the value of the handset put up for exchange.

Huawei Philippines’ trade-in offer announcement on Facebook
Huawei Philippines has also posted the rest of the terms of the trade-in offer. Have a read below.
- A third-party agent will check the phone for trade-in. The phones will be evaluated based on their condition.
- The appraised values of the surrendered phones will be deducted from the suggested retail price or SRP of the new device directly.
- Customers may trade in more than one phone for valuation for one new device.
- The phone valuations and additional discounts are not convertible to cash.
- This offer cannot be combined with other promotions.
- [THIS IS AN UPDATE. HUAWEI ADDED THIS ON APRIL 23.] The phones that are acceptable for trade-in are the following: Apple iPhone 5s and up; Huawei Nova 2i; Huawei P9, and up; Huawei Mate 8 and up; Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro and J7 Plus; Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 and up; Samsung Galaxy C9 Pro; Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and up; and Samsung Galaxy S6 and up.
To recap, the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro feature new — and flashier — metal-and-glass designs, punctuated by a cut-out or notch at the top of their displays a la the Apple iPhone X. Both are powered by the same Kirin 970 platform in the Mate 10 phones, with a dedicated chip for accelerating artificial intelligence-related tasks and machine learning. The chipset is paired with 4GB RAM on the P20 and 6GB RAM on the P20 Pro.

But the biggest talking points, as Huawei will tell you, can be found at the back. Recall that independent camera-testing company DxOMark gave the Huawei P20 and P20 Pro the highest scores ever for a smartphone. The P20 has two main cameras, while the P20 Pro gets a crazy triple-camera system with an even crazier 40-megapixel sensor for color.
